MCFA INTRODUCES NEW MITSUBISHI 4,500 - 6,500 LB. CAPACITY ELECTRIC CUSHION TIRE FORKLIFT SERIES

HOUSTON (November 20, 2019) - Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. (MCFA), the provider of Mitsubishi forklift trucks across North, Central and South America, today introduced its new 4,500 - 6,500 lb. capacity electric cushion tire forklift series. Offering exceptional run times and an easy-to-service design, the new FBC23N - FBC30LN forklift series delivers exceptional value across a wide range of warehouse environments.

"We're excited to launch our newest Mitsubishi electric cushion tire forklifts series to the market," said Antonio Serrano, product marketing manager at MCFA. "Customers are continuing to look for ways to increase productivity and reduce costs, and the new electric cushion tire forklift series is designed to do just that. The forklift's energy-efficient design allows it to run longer on one battery charge, maximizing uptime throughout the shift for greater productivity. Operators will also appreciate the forklift's spacious operator compartment and ergonomic features for added comfort throughout the day."


Key Features Include:

Energy Efficient
With advanced AC motors and optimized regenerative braking systems, operators can drive productivity to a whole new level. The two-stage hydraulic system determines the optimum motor speed, resulting in reduced energy consumption and longer run times.

Low Cost of Ownership
The FBC series has key features to keep costs down over its lifetime. Design features, such as an easily removable side, top, floor and rear access panels, make accessing the forklift's motors and major components simple, helping save customers' time and money. Additionally, the all-welded box frame and battery edge cover design helps to extend the life of the investment.

Compact Design
The forklift's compact design also provides a tighter turning radius when loading and unloading trailers or working in cramped conditions.

Spacious Operator Compartment
From the beginning of the shift until the end, the FBC series of forklifts was designed for optimal comfort. Operators can easily adjust the seat to their preferences. The low-profile steering wheel also provides extra space and comfort.


Integrated Presence Systems (IPS)
This integrated, computer-based feedback system uses both audible and visual indicators to alert operators to potentially hazardous situations, while increasing overall operator awareness.

Re-Designed LED Front Work Lights
The redesigned LED front work lights provide excellent illumination while loading and unloading trailers or in dark areas.

Additional Productivity Options
Flexible productivity options, such as foot directional control, rear grab handle with horn button, sideshifter and overhead guard options are also available to further customize the forklift to the specific application.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
